Re: Since it's not listed in DonWillis' posted rules, is it now ok to SELL coins on the USCF?

Re: $470 GOLD & $7.38 SILVER !!!!!!
"Those that do NOT know history are doomed to repeat it." Roman Senator Cisero (paraphased): he actually said we would be like little children all our lives because we did not take the time to study what happened prior.

Re: Auditing PCGS
Interesting Post. Firstly, let me state that it is sometimes nerve-racking trying to talk to someone besides a telephone person who has almost ZERO knowledge of coins, let alone having that person understand the sometimes ANAL attitudes of Numismatists.........not that I am implying that your is, Skerke. (but mine sure can… -
